> Over the next eight days, this payload conducted a vital experiment where it attempted to grow the first plants on the moon.

The plants survived eight days before freezing, but important questions also include things like "How does the radiation impact their seed viability in future generations?"

I'll grant that they didn't immediately die, but neither would I have expected that from an ionizing environment. Just a lot of weird quirks in lifecycle.
